Magna Carta will be on display tonight at Fort York as a new exhibit celebrates our rich legal and political legacy. Magna Carta was signed eight hundred years ago this year when rebel barons forced King John to listen to them. It was hardly a work of the people but it began a process which historians say led to our present democratic processes. The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, will be joined by a City representative at the Toronto launch event for the Magna Carta: Law, Liberty & Legacy exhibit, which will be on display from October 4 to November 7 at Fort York.Time is from 5.30 to 7 p.m. with remarks at 6 p.m.
